Asa an avid bicycle I don't understand how people can rent those things. You have to adjust those things each time you get a new one or risk serious physical damage. I never see people riding them either.
There is nothing in the CMBR that determines where the center of the universe is.
No complicated explanations are needed. Just blow up a balloon.
But how do you define the center of the solar system or of the galaxy?
in the Laimtre universe, the earth is as much the center of the unierse as any other point is.
And here is one of the reponses to that monitoring .
You can't master a game, you get pissed.
Big surprise!
Actually the best example is the kryptonite lock program. When they discovered the flaw they replaced all locks, with the ball mechanism. Even those that went back more then ten years.
i remember when XP was released and WGA ( or it's predecessor ) was new and people were worried that MS would shutdown their servers and make it impossible to reinstall in some cases.
MS promised that they would release a key or some sort of patch that would allow you to install without the server.
Where is it?
When it comes down to it though. Other companies do support software for a long long time.
When I worked at Lucent they had the software for every switch they or AT&T ever sold. The had each version and each revision.
OS/2 is still being sold and supported, and it is at least ten years older then XP.
And the point of intellectual property is to grant exclusivity in exchange for making the object public.
If MS is not going to publicly support XP, then they should open source it.
As for those who say that people should buy everything new every five years. That ain't the way it works. If something is 20 years old and still works people keep using it.Get over it.
I thinka KDE variant would be better for someone used to Windows. Though you may have to add on a graphics card depending on how old the machine is.
Can anyone say Stingray, just to name one model.
Actually, consumer protection laws would say different. After all these are not upgrades we are talking about. These are repairs to existing defects.
Yeah there is. If MS ever made the source code to XP public, tons of guys would look at it and laugh.
So they have a trade secret how badly they write code.
Hacking's just another word for nothing left to kludge.
